39 years ago I built up a Willys CJ-3B. Very nice. But that years I (we) were young. So basically this Willys were a street rod. Big tyres, big engine, big outlet pipes, 5 speed gearbox, spot lights, fog lamps, sport seats, roll bar ext. Then something happened! Children! I sold the Willys (had to). All the years the Willys was still in my mind. And that is clearly visible in my hunting vehicle I built for myself a few moons ago. The windscreen folds down like a Willys!! Then something happened again! I am back again. Children out of the house and it is me and my lovely wife again. So there’s the new Willys (a new baby?) Yes this is the new baby! This one I want to keep it original as it can be. Although it is a CJ-3B chassis with everything original, and the body is a CJ-2A. The body is rebuilt by someone here in South Africa. This is not bad. Keep in mind that I am in South Africa. I am the grandfather of two children. I want to leave something behind in the family that was very special for me, and that is an original Willys Jeep.
